In case you haven’t made the switch or missed our Backyard Party at my new bloggy space, here’s a wrap of of the fun this week!

an airplane costume from Wearables by Kid Constructions (Four winners!)
an 11×13 print from Hope Ink (+a 15% discount code for you!)

a Plywood People mesenger bag + Planning a Fabulous Party without Losing Your Mind ebook + Create Your Perfect Cleaning Schedule ebook + Truth in the Tinsel ebook + 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess book + What’s in the Bible? DVD. (<–that’s hecka stuff!)

And don’t forget to download your FREE ebook from me, Praying God’s Word for Your Kids! I’m going to start reading it during my #hellomornings on Monday and sharing some of the prayers and activities on our Facebook page. Each week, I’ll introduce two of the free printable Scripture art downloads to go along with the prayers. We can pray together–it will be awesome!

To get your free ebook, just sign up for my NEW not-so-daily updates via email or feedreader. When you get your first email (or check the posts in your feedreader), you’ll see a link to download the book. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Next week, I’ll be merging all the Impress Your Kids posts into my new blog, ohAmanda.com and there will be no more updates for this account! I want to keep in touch, so make sure you subscribe over there (and get your free ebook!).

Send Your Sponsored Child a Book {Impress Your SPONSORED Kids}

This is the most horrifying post I’ve ever written. I’m going to tell you to tear up a book.

Can you believe it?!

It’s just that I’ve found the most perfect book ever for our sponsored kids and I just have to send it to them! I’ve posted about The See With Me Bible before and a few months ago, I found a used copy at the thrift store. I grabbed it up and then was totally disappointed that one of the pages were ripped.

However, that big rip gave me a fantastic idea! I could rip out the pages one by one and send them to our kids in Burkina Faso and the Dominican Republic. This book doesn’t have any words (well, a few English words at the very end) and has so many fabulous details it’s perfect for all languages.

We carefully tore out a few pages, folded them up and are sending them to our sponsored kids. If you ever find a See With Me Bible at the thrift store, grab it up! You can give your sponsored kids a Bible no matter what language they speak.

Your challenge (should you choose to accept it) is to find a book to rip up and send to your kids. OK. That might be a little impossible. But keep your eyes open for books, sticker or even postcards with no words so your child can enjoy them no matter what language they speak.

Don’t forget to check out my Flat Crafts for Sponsored Kids Pinterest board. There are several contributors who have found some great ideas.

Who’s gonna write their sponsored kids today?
